21 | Is Jesus and God the same? | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 221892 | ||
Yes, Ps 83, I understand about what JW's teach, That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is] JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth. In response to your question of, 'how is it possible for Jesus to pray to himself' Have you ever heard of the hypostatic union? What this means, is: Jesus is God in human flesh. He is not half God and half man. He is fully divine and fully man. That is, Jesus has two distinct natures: divine and human. Jesus is the Word who was God and was with God and was made flesh, (John 1:1,14). This means that in the single person of Jesus is both a human and divine nature. The divine nature was not changed. It was not altered. He is not merely a man who "had God within Him" nor is he a man who "manifested the God principle." He is God, second person of the Trinity. "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word," (Heb. 1:3, NIV). Jesus' two natures are not "mixed together," nor are they combined into a new God-man nature. They are separate yet act as a unit in the one person of Jesus. This is called the Hypostatic Union. Jesus prayed to the Father because as a man, under the Law (Gal. 4:4), he needed to pray to the Father. The Bible teaches that he was both God and man (Col. 2:9; John 8:58 with Ex. 3:14). Also, Jesus has two natures. Therefore, we will see two types of scripture concerning Jesus: those that seem to focus on His divine-side, and those that seem to focus on His human-side. The Jehovah's Witnesses are simply ignoring, or changing, the divine-side scriptures and concentrating on those that describe His human-side. But that does not make those verses any less valid. See Hypostatic Union (at carm.org) for information on the two natures of Jesus. If you go there, you are also able to find why JW teachings are in error, by simply typing in 'cults' on the home page. Then click the link to Jehova Witnesses. I could go on, about many of your comments, such as: 'firstborn over all creation' The mistranslation of the word, 'firstborn' is the problem, and proves the doctrine to be false.. But I won't continue with that here... May our Lord bless you as you seek His truth |

22 | Is Jesus and God the same? | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 221894 | ||
Psa 83, for your benefit, and the benefit of readers on this forum, I have listed here several verses where Jesus is said to be God: "But of the Son He says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom." Heb 1:8 "Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" John 20:28 "I and the Father are one." The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God." John 10:30-33 "I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins." Note: In the Greek, "He" is not there. John 8:24 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:1, 1:14 Now, I have had JW's say to me that, yes, Jesus is called God, but he is not called 'Almighty God' However, the Bible proves that theory to be foundless as well. son |

23 | God is one plesse explain Mark 16:19 | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 221895 | ||
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. (Mk 16:19) He sat at the right hand. To say He sat means that He was at rest, that His work was completed. This was a posture of authority, as He was sitting down when He began to speak at the sermon on the mount. To sit on the 'right hand' explains soveriegn rule, -it does not mean that God has a right hand. -does the Bible ever mention the left hand of God? Going by that logic, the Bible must mean that God is monodextrous. But it never says that God created the heavens and the earth 'single-handedly' ((o: son |

Hi colton, please allow me to apologize for your difficulty in getting your question answered. It is my belief that your question has its own trouble built into it, for the darkness comprehendeth not the light. (Jn 1:5) I think these verses may help you in your growing relationship with the Lord, by understanding who the enemy is, and that there is warfare out there. Read Isaiah 14:12, and then in context of 14:3 thru 14:22 Then read Ezekiel 28, and notice how the chapter changes its mood abruptly at verse 12, since it stops speaking to the Prince of Tyre and turns its attention to the King of Tyre thru verse 19. This king is widely considered to be none other than satan himself. Being full of wisdom and perfect in beauty... perfect in thy ways until iniquity was found in thee... And the chapter wraps up in vss. 25 and 26 when the Lord shall execute His judgement and bring His people into safety and security in their own land. keliy |

doc, please forgive me for answering this question, but truthfully, I never had much luck finding an answer in the search box. I am willing to bet that the questions will keep getting asked, and repeatedly also. Just like my face keeps having to get whiskers shaved off, no matter how many times I do it, and no matter how thoroughly I do it.

27 | Genesis | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 221911 | ||
The major reason why people doubt that the days of creation are 24-hour literal days usually has nothing to do with what the Bible says, but comes from outside influences. For example, many believe that since scientists have convinced everyone that the earth is countless years old, then the days of creation cannot be ordinary days. Then they attempt to use Scripture to try to justify that the days of creation are long periods of time and quote passages such as 2 Peter 3:8, '... 'one day is with the Lord as a thousand years' However, if you look at the rest of the verse, it says, '... and a thousand years as one day'. which makes theirs a moot point. They are further proven wrong in their assumptions by looking into the complexities of the Hebrew landuage: The Hebrew word for day in Genesis chapter 1 is the word 'yom'. It is important to understand that almost any word can have two or more meanings, depending on context. And, respected Hebrew dictionaries give a number of meanings for the word 'yom' depending upon context. One of the passages they give for the meaning of 'yom' as an ordinary day is Genesis chapter 1. And the reason becomes quite obvious. Every time the word 'yom' is used with a number, or with the phrase 'evening and morning', anywhere in the Old Testament, it always means an ordinary day. In Genesis chapter 1, for each of the six days of creation, the Hebrew word 'yom' is used with a number and with the phrase, 'evening and morning'. There is no doubt that the Hebrew author (as being led by the Spirit) is placing an emphasis on saying that these are ordinary days. |

28 | What form will we take in heaven? | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 222038 | ||
Hello, His Student, May the following verses edify you. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. I John 3:2 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took [it], and did eat before them. Luke 24:41-43 Jesus saith unto them, Come [and] dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. John 21:12-13 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Rom. 8:18 [There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory. So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit. Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven. As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. I Cor. 15:41, 49 For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Cor 5:1 |

33 | Bible reference to infant baptism | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 224277 | ||
The baptism of an infant is basically useless because an infant cannot place its faith into anything, and cannot join in the act. It basically lays there and has someone else's will exercised over it. The reason for the addition of infants into the sacrament of Baptism that I was given by a RCC scholar was this: They simply ran out of adults to baptize and started baptising the babies. The word comes from the Greek 'baptismo' which means to immerse. |

N S, Sorry for the late response, I just want to follow up and see if you are having any luck. I am sorry that you are feeling as Jonah trapped in the whale. Is it possible that you are trying to do this work by your own power instead of relying on the totally sufficient power of Christ? Read the Book of Jonah, and focus on how Jonah was freed. I will pray also that your wife comes to know Jesus as her personal savior. As for defending the Word, there is not much you can do beyond the Word itself. God's Word is sharper than any two edged sword and there is nothing able to perform as well as His Word. Just remain in the Word and you will know thr truth. And the truth will make you free. |

35 | In Bible the term Jew first used? | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 234056 | ||
the word, JEW is used first in the Book of Esther, (8 times) but I am not sure if that would be first in the chronological order. In 2 Kings, the word, 'Jews' is used twice, still being listed as the Strong's # H3064 and refers to someone who belonged to the kingdom of Judah. Later, after the removal of the ten tribes, the word Jew came to refer to any Israelite. |

on the other hand, the Word, 'Judaism' refers to the religion and philosphy espoused by the Jewish people, but can actually get quite complex. For some, it would mean the expression of the covenantal relationship God established with the Children of Israel. For more modern times, liberal movements such as Humanistic Judaism may actually be nontheistic. |

Without an object to love, then love itself can not be fulfilled. God is Love. 1John 4:16 God also has angels to worship Him, but the epitome of God's creation is man. Man is therefore the only creature who can allow for the highest expression of God's love, and as we reciprocate, love becomes perfected. |

40 | Did Barabbas have a first (given) name? | NT general | sonofmom | 222394 | ||
In early history, there was not the idea of last names as we know today. Barabbas was the name given to this person, but it is easily broken down. Bar means simply, son, or son of. See Mark 10:46 where it says, "And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging." Jesus also mentions, 'Simon Barjona' in Mat 16:17 So, since abba means father, (Strongs #G5), Barabbas would mean Son of Father. It is quite indicative of the wickedness in the hearts of the crowd when they were given the choice to either release Jesus, who committed no crime, or to release Barabbas, "And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas" Meaning, release to us son of father, who was a worldly substitute in lieu of releasing the real Son of the real Father |
